My wife and I definitely made the right choice choosing VA San Diego as our official photographer and videographer at our wedding last Sept. 5, 2015. Val took the time to get to know us and made us feel comfortable, he was very approachable, flexible and most importantly, he was very open to our ideas and suggestions.
While filming our Save-the-date teaser video, my wife challenged him to make a storyline which can inspire couples going through long distance relationship just like us, and then BOOM! He went beyond our expectations. We know for a fact that everyone who got the chance to watch the video definitely was moved to tears. During our e-sessions, despite us changing our minds about the locations, Val was very patient with us. On the day of the shoot, it was crazy hot outside but he and his team was super friendly, fun to work with and made sure we were comfortable which made the shoot a success.The results were exactly what we had hoped for!
On the day of the wedding, Val and his team were very professional showing up on time and maintained smiles on their faces the whole day which we think was very pleasant. V.A. San Diego did a wonderful job working with everyone during our wedding day and we couldn't be happier. We got a glimpse of the wedding photos a few days after the wedding and had a CD/DVD of the videos as well as 1000+ phenomenal pictures capturing every single special moments during the most important day of our lives and the beginning of the most beautiful memories we will cherish forever. And for this, we would like to say a BIG Thank You to VA San Diego and his team for their efforts, creativity and professionalism. For us your work was truly magnificent. Thank you for giving us memories that we can revisit for a lifetime.

Our wedding will not be enchanting and memorable if not for VA San Diego Studio. You exceeded our expectations we had for photography with unique and amazing portrait and landscape pictures. We cannot describe how impressed we are by your creativeness and by capturing our detailed emotions. Jeff and I were so happy from pre-nup throughout our wedding day, your photography was jaw dropping, were most of my friends and family could not say anything but just one word a “WOW” . One thing we like most in your team, you are very professional since the day I was inquiring, giving a client a very honest deal of what they could offer. Though a lot of Davao photographers are emerging and competition was quite high but without a doubt, 101% I chose one of the best photographer in D-town, with a vast knowledge of photography and professionalism that made us comfortable in front of the camera. . Sabi nga ni hubby , unlike others daw photography parang grabe photoshop, took the pictures in very white effects but with Val san diego your photographs were very natural that’s what we like yung tipong walang ngbago sa mga mukha namin… Hehe that was fabulous and fantastic job and brought us happiness seeing our pictures and video, money is worth spent for the package we got. Thank you for making our big day so special and wonderful. I can definitely say we are one of your satisfied client that surely refer you to all my friends and family in the future. All the best for your endeavor and a great success for your team!

Alain and I decided very early on when planning for our wedding that the photography was to be a huge priority, and it was really important to us because we know that these memories should be lasting and must be captured perfectly by a professional artist. Then we found you, team Val Adonis San Diego. And you really did not let us down. We cannot begin to thank you for all the work, time and sincerity you put into our wedding photographs and videos.You did not only provide us with stunning photos, but your professionalism and attention to details were absolutely outstanding.Working with your team was truly a pleasant experience. The engagement session was unforgettable-- it felt like a dream. And upon waking up, seeing those amazing photos in Saranggani, we realized..it's real after all.We also had a great time during the wedding and your team has captured every single moment for us. Without doubt , team VA San Diego, you are the difference that makes a difference. All the guests have commented on how good you were, and now that they've seen the SDE and Onsite photos, they are even more impressed. I loved the way VA San Diego works as a team. They are always energetic and smiling, ready to help and would even go the extra mile to get the perfect shot. They have a way that would help ease the tension, and take away the shyness. As a bride like me who is not used to being photographed, team VA San Diego has given me confidence to smile it away and just feel beautiful. Sir Val is definitely a top class photographer and his team is more than excellent. Again, a massive THANK You to VA San Diego team!! We love you guys!
